The South Korean Ministry of Transport announced that the black box of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was found to be malfunctioning just before the disaster.

The statement also mentioned that 'CVR and FDR data are important for accident investigations, but accident investigations are conducted through the exploration and analysis of different sets of data. Therefore, we will continue to do our best to accurately determine the cause of the accident.'

The South Korean Ministry of Transport stated that the pilot requested emergency landing permission after receiving a bird strike warning from the tower, and landed on the fuselage with the landing gear closed. An investigation was launched to determine the exact cause of the accident.
